The new Chinese levies, which take effect on March 10, include a 15% tariff on chicken, wheat, corn and cotton and a 10% tariff on sorghum, soybeans, pork, beef, fruits, vegetables and dairy and fish products. Chinese state media had reported earlier that U.S. agricultural products would be targeted.

And Canada seems to be targeting US industry and electricity users with its retaliation.

In Canada, meanwhile, retaliation against U.S. tariffs could also extend to its individual provinces. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Monday on NBC’s “Meet the Press NOW” that Canada would “respond like they’ve never seen before.”

He said he was prepared to retaliate by cutting off the transmission of electricity from his province to the United States, as well as shipments of nickel, which “will shut down manufacturing because 50% of the nickel you use is coming out of Ontario.”

“I’m sorry to the American people that your president has decided to do this,” Ford said. “I apologize, but he’s giving us no choice.”

Canadians apologizing again...

They shouldn't apologize. We should apologize for put that felon, rapist, incompetent, narcissistic, psychopath in office. Given the betrayal from us, they should probably have hit us harder.

I hope the steaks are ok.

If the vegetable and fruit - especially the organic ones go to hell I feel terrible for the farmers who are REAL businessmen unlike these campus bred 401K'ers here.......but would also be cute to see Club 401K have to deal with that.

Long term, Climate Change will do this.

Maybe even take out the wild salmon.

But these are just sexy things.

gotta stay focused on punishment - via the big things.
